    I have been prescribed Lustral for 12 months now. I was given a different brand & within a week I was shaking and in a right state. The packet said aremis & the writing was in Spanish. I asked the pharmacist about them & they assured me that they were Lustral. They had Pfizer on the foil trap but not on the tablets. I did say that I was able to take generic but they insisted they were Lustral. I had to ask for another script and was back to normal after a couple of weeks.

    I have now been told by the Dr that I will not recieve Lustral on the NHS & will have get the branded privately! It will cost around £45 monthly. So that means I will be working one day a week so as I can take the meds that work for me. It was the GP who figured out that generics didn't work for me too. Frustrating.
